I had a weekend full of fun activities. It all started Friday at work. We held a baby shower for one of our coworkers. We did our best to make the lounge baby shower ready and it was sweet to meet his family. Friday evening, I went to a new place on Oak Island with some friends for trivia night.…
Our friends Amanda and Stacy came to visit us! They delayed their trip by a day due to some rainy weather. Although there was zero sunshine the entire weekend, we had a great visit. They arrived on Sunday afternoon and we headed down to American Fish to enjoy the view and a few drinks. It was cool and cloudy but…
On Sunday Scott and I went over to Oak Island to climb to the top of the lighthouse. We learned a lot about the lighthouse and then made our way to the top. The coloring for the lighthouse is actually in the concrete, therefore it never has to be painted. The route to the top is via ships ladders. It…
This weekend Scott, me, Liz, and Daniel set off for Western North Carolina/Northern Georgia to visit my friend Eileen and to hike to several waterfalls. Our adventure started as soon as we left town. We had Liz’s son Bryson with us until we got to Gastonia where we dropped him off with his grandparents for the weekend. We decided to…
This week for Nurse’s week, we planned several different themed days for our Surgical Services nurses. We wanted to something a little different than the things we do all the time.

My niece Tinley turned 4 this week and they had her birthday party on Sunday at a park in Aberdeen. I made a short overnight trip to Rockingham and then to her party before returning home. She had lots of family and a few friends from school there to celebrate her. She spent lots of time on the playground and…
My cousin’s kid Jenna who is in 2nd grade in Illinois, sent me Flat Stanley. We took him all around Southport and took his picture to send back for her class. We only had him for a week before we had to send him back. We could have taken him on a lot more adventures if we had him a…
April has been a little bit of this and a little bit of that. We dog sat for Lucy for a bit while her parents were out of town. She was a little sad the first day and she went through the whole house looking for Mack. She finally settled in nicely and enjoyed lots of snuggles while she was…
My mom and I had a mother and daughter adventure down to Florida last week. We used to have a “girls weekend” every year when my nana would come stay with us. We haven’t been on one since she passed. We had some set in stone plans and we had some figure it out when we get there plans, but…
I’ve been trying to stay busy with different activities because it feels so different at home without my buddy Mack. My friend Liz’s son was playing basketball for Southport Parks and Rec so we went to some of the games to cheer him on. It was very enjoyable and quite entertaining to watch this age group play. Liz, Carolina, and…
